<< < (9/9)

Careful playing without the glass on... last year I was doing that testing something and actually had an airball fly up and smack the backglass.  Did not damage it - but what a wtf moment that would have been.

Level42:
Chad.........this is scary.

I just gave it a spin, and well some things actually worked (like the Supercharger :) !!!) When I pushed the right flipper button, the left would go, so there's obviously something I guessed wrong :)

But now, all the balls are locked in places that it won't release the balls anymore. I stupidly lifted the playfield again, and of course, a ball fell out, right on the topglass that I had parked on my couch for the moment. Of course I had put it on it's side, so it survived, but we had a good startle there !

Still fun to some things working......

I can hear solenoids go at random so there's still a lot to do.....some nice progress though :)

ChadTower:

Heh.  It's a law of physics... if you have a large sheet of glass in a place it shouldn't be, something will fall on it.  Always happens.  I'm paranoid enough now that I have a couple of backglass sized sheets of plywood around.  When I take a backglass out I immediately sandwich it between those sheets for protection, even if it's only for a few minutes.

Level42:
OK, left button now activates left flipper !
Right button now activates right-top flipper, but not the bottom one. Already see the problem: loose wire on the coil....no time to solder now....

Maybe this guide can help you:
